Here are all the top moments from Day 2 of the women’s tournament:
No. 6 seed Iowa routs No. 11 Murray State in first round
Freshman Ava Heiden scored a career-high 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds, and sixth-seeded Iowa rolled past No. 11 seed Murray State, 92-57, on Saturday in the first round of the women’s NCAA Tournament.
Lucy Olsen had 12 points and a career-high 12 assists for the Hawkeyes (23-10). They scored a season-high in points in the first tournament win for first-year Iowa coach Jan Jensen, a longtime assistant who was promoted after Lisa Bluder retired.
Murray State’s Katelyn Young, who averaged 22.2 points heading into the NCAA Tournament, left the game early in the third quarter with an ankle injury and did not return. She finished with six points and seven rebounds in 20 minutes.
The Racers, who entered the game averaging a nation-leading 87.8 points per game, shot just 30.6% from the field and posted their lowest point total of the season.
